Genesis 26:15-33 KJV For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. [16] And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. [17] And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. [18] And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. [19] And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. [20] And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. [21] And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. [22] And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. [23] And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba. [24] And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. [25] And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well. [26] Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. [27] And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? [28] And they said, We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; [29] That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the Lord. [30] And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. [31] And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. [32] And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water. [33] And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba unto this day. {Automated Transcript. Contains Typos. Not Yet Edited By A Human}: hello everybody you're listening to africa arise um alfred the topic for today's broadcast is african economic independence let's open our bibles to the book of exodus chapter 3 verse 17 i'm reading from the king james version of the bible i read and i have said i will bring you up out of the affliction of egypt onto the land of the canaanites and the hittites and the amorites and the parasites and the gervicides and the jebusites onto a land flowing with milk and honey now the question now is how do we make africa a land flowing with milk and honey understand something in this portion of the scripture god was saying that they will he would bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey but you see you have to understand something different about the christian and us being in the new testament we can actually make anywhere that we are a land flowing with milk and honey because we carry anointing we carry the presence of god so we are a bundle of blessings you see it's different for us there are the old testament covenants had power but in new testament covenants is much more powerful let me show you something about even the old testament covenant let's open our bibles to the book of genesis chapter 26 15 to 33 the king james version of the bible and this is how it was for isaac now understand that the jews that god was speaking to later on they did not have that relationship that isaac had with gold that's same covenants in the sense of you see um they were equivalent people but you see it is more powerful to have the relationship than the covenant it is more powerful to have a relationship with a king than to have the silent ring of the king you know or to have a letter from the king with the relationship that is way more powerful than a letter of authorization from the king because that relationship is what's an infinite number of letters of authorization from that same king so you have to understand these aspects of things and that was the problem with lots you see lots did not have the kind of relationship that abraham had with god as we see it doesn't seem like he had any relationship at all the same thing with sarah how many times do we see god talking to lot or god talking to sarah and you see that was a problem if you took abraham out of that situation those two people would have a song sarah will probably have been kidnapped by king and married you know forced into marriage with the king which is something that would have happened you know when she was you know with abraham but because of abraham god saved sarah from falling into that situation you know when um everyone in the king's house was afflicted and you know it now became um it came to the king's knowledge you know that's this that this is what he has actually done he has actually taken another man's wife you see so if it was not for abraham um that is what would have happened to sir and of course you can see how lot went when he disconnected himself from abraham who was connected to god look at what's happened to him in sudamagumura you see you have to understand what is more important the relationship is more important so you can see in this portion of the scripture i'm about to read to you about isaac it is also in the old testament but because of his proximity with god and his stance with god his story was different from these other people from his great-grandchildren who needed to be taken to a land that is flowing with milk and homie honey a land of promise in the case of isaac anywhere he was was a land flowing with milk and honey it became soup because of his presence let us read genesis chapter 26 verse 15 to 33 i'm reading from the king james version of the bible i read for all the worlds which his father servants had digged in the days of abraham his father the fully stance had stopped them and filled them with it and obama like stayed on to as he got from us for thou had much might see here than we and i said departed tense and pushed his stance in the valley of guerra and dwelled there and isaac digged again the wealth of what i wish they had digged in the days of abraham his father for the philistines had stopped them after the death of abraham and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them keep in mind that the philistines were waiting for abraham to pass on before they stop this will and you can see because of the proximity with god that abraham had in comparison to us because these people are relying on covenant covenant a covenant not a covenant that they themselves have with god but a covenant that abraham has with god on their behalf so it is abraham that has that relationship you see so they are benefited from a covenant that abraham has with god you see on their behalf however i have emphasized it is god himself that is more important like i said a letter of authorization from a king in a in a land where the king has absolute power is nothing compared to a relationship with the king understand which is more important you see so um to continue reading an isaac's father and isaac's servants digged in the valley have found a there a well of springing water and the heads men of garage did strive with isaac's head main scene the water is ours and he called the name of the world essex because this truth it's him and they digged another well and strove for that also and he called the name of it sidner and he removed from dance and digged another will and for that destroyed notes and he named the name of it robots and he said for now the lord had made room for us and we shall be fruitful in the land and he went up from dance to besheba and the lord appeared unto him the same night and said i am the god of abraham thy father fear not fire with thee i will bless thee and multiply that thy seed for my servant abraham's sick and he built it and all that they and called upon the name of the lord and pushed his stance there and there isaac's servants dig the well then abimelech went to him from guerra and asked her one of his friends and pitch hall the chief captain of his army and isaac said unto them wherefore call me to me saying he hates me have sent me away from you and they said we saw certainly that god was with thee and we say let there be now and votes between us even between us and thee and let us make a covenant with thee so you can see because of what they observed now the philistines you know these guys now want to make a deal with isaac that's and it is it is not like um they saw it and it was about they wanted to um reassure him that they will never disturb him again they were concerned that if this isaac turns against us we are going to be in trouble so that was their motivation for what they did you know and they're striking the covenant keep in mind that this is all a result of a covenant that abraham had with god on behalf of all his descendants what if isaac
